Evolution has proved that - at one time - all the continents and islands were fused into one giant super-continent (called Pangaea - pronounced 'pan-gee-ah'). If you could reverse the continental drift so that all the continents etc fitted back together - they would look like a giant jigsaw-puzzle.
